We took the plunge. We look at sin dead in the eyes. We ask, "What are you?". No reply. We dive deeper. Our eyes start to water. The stench in the air so foul we begin to puke. "How much deeper can evil go?". Helplessly, we grope around traveling deeper into hell. Our senses becoming so overwhelmed, we can hardly grasp reality. Every coherent thought in our heads evaporates under the pressure . SMACK! "Is this the bottom?". "What is it?" "I can hardly breathe!" "Is...is that who I think it is?". For a moment clarity strikes us. We fall to our knees in awe struck horror of the knowledge that we can only ever truely know one thing in this world. Ryan Reynolds is evil.

A viewer recommended movie? Hold on a second. People actually listen to us?

Despite my typical silly little descriptions and the funny little edit at the beginning of this video, David Lynch will be deeply missed. The impact that he has made on everyone's lives here at Cinematographilogically Speaking is one of the main reasons we have all become friends, while also facilitating our interests not just in film, but into the world of ideas in general. Thank you David Lynch for being an inspiration for us and so many.

Remember that movie you watched in your high school English class? Yeah we thought it sucked. That movie you nervously took your date to and she was just on her phone the whole time? Yeah that sucked too. That movie poster you bought from a mall kiosk? You guessed it, that also sucked.

I want you to imagine this podcast as one of those round table discussions where a bunch of high status entertainment people are all having a discussion, except instead of looking at each other, they're all looking directly at the camera. Sure we're talking to each other, but truely we're talking to you, dear viewer, is that not what this recording is for? It's just a podcast.... it's not real life.

I'm sorry to let you know audience, but what you are listening to is a file copied from my computer. Only I possess the original.

It's been a while, how've you been? Everything ok? Cool, cool. Well, we're back and all that, and if you're wondering why this description is as low quality as the audio quality of this pod, it's because Brody is on vacation. This episode has Troy, John, Elsmore, and Sam, and it's kinda a banger.  Scores: John: 3.7 Sam: 3.3 Elsmore: 3.7 Troy: 3.7

No movie? No problem. We've all got something to say anyway. Say something. Please somebody say something.

Elsmore and Troy received many emails from fans, detailing their very personal and real problems. We solve these problems easily, try bringing the heat next time.

We finally got another special guest into our studio. He flew in from the BIG APPLE. Apple bottom jeans. We promised to pay him but the check bounced. Sam if you're reading this we're sorry but we had to get you into the studio somehow. Please forgive us. No you're still not getting paid.

Jacob was in downtown LA when he ran into Serj Tankian in a coffee house. Jacob tried to get his copy of manufacturing consent signed by Serj, but instead Serj just handed Jacob a copy of "Color of Pomegranates" and went on a half hour long rant lamenting how ignorant Americans are of the great and proud history of Armenia. Once he was done with his tirade he let out a scream, raised his fist, then threw a brick through the pane glass window of the coffee shop, hopped into his Tesla Model 3, and drove off. Thank you Serj Tankian for your guidance and Resistance.
